Catherine Vernon has a firm hand on her family and on the family business. Her plans for her young protege Edward, whom she loves like a son, are disturbed by the arrival of Hester, a 14-year-old girl who is just as strong willed. The conflict between Catherine and Hester is resolved through their mutual love for Edward. On one level a love story, Hester is unusual for its time in its portrayal of women in business. - Summary by Anne Erickson (6 hr 38 min)

Margaret Oliphant is a brilliant writer, and excels in her character studies. This first portion of Hester is very well read! I am excited to get to the next part.
